page you will find answers to many of the questions we
receive from individuals about personal training and the

What is personal training?
Personal
training consists of one on one coaching from a
certified personal fitness trainer... this trainer
teaches you, motivates you, and gets you to work hard
consistently while following a detailed fitness and
nutrition plan which the trainer develops for you based
on you and your goals.
Personal
training is the most effective method of achieving your
health, fitness, and/or weight loss goals as it utilizes
the most effective exercise and nutrition strategies
while at the same time it keeps you continuously making
progress.
How will I benefit from working with a personal trainer?
You
WILL benefit in so many different ways... here's just a
short list:
Here are some more
benefits:
I could go on for days!
What kind of results can I expect?
It honestly depends
primarily on how bad you want to achieve your goals and
how hard you are willing to work. Our personal training
programs will allow you to get the most out of your
fitness and nutrition.
On average, most
clients lose approximately 1 pound of body fat (not
scale weight) per week and often will lose 5-15 pounds
in a 6 week period.
Don't take my word for
it though... be
sure to also check out our
success
stories page to hear how others have benefited from
our programs.
How do I know which program is right for me?
It all
depends... first, you need to know what your goals
are... then look at the different programs we offer and
see if you see one that's a good match. Check out the
different
personal
training programs now
If
after looking at the different programs you still aren't
sure, don't worry, we can help you figure it out. Just
give us a call at 888-872-7961 or email
us.
How often should I meet with a personal trainer?
This
sill depend upon your goals, how quickly you want to
achieve them, your schedule and time available to
exercise, and your budget... but when considering the
cost, be sure to remember that this is your health and
there is nothing on earth that is more important...
because without it you have nothing.
On
average, most clients do best when they meet with a
personal trainer 2-3 times per week... less than that
many people will slack off and not get nearly as much
out of it. Here are
a few things to
keep in mind when determining how often you'll meet with
your trainer...
1.
how fast do you want to achieve your goal and see
results
The
more frequently you meet with your trainer the faster
you'll see results and achieve your goals and there are
several reasons for this... consistency, accountability,
motivation, guidance, you'll work much harder with your
trainer than on your own, etc.
2.
how much experience with exercise do you have and how
much do you really know
While
many people have exercised before, many for years... but
do you really know it all? It's not likely... we spend
years and years studying and learning to know what we
know and our primary focus is on helping and teaching
you. Think about it... if you don't know taxes (like I
sure don't :) ) are you going to try to figure it out
yourself or have someone help you? Why leave your
fitness results to chance?
Most
client we work with start out meeting with their
personal trainer 3 times per week and then will
gradually decrease the frequency as they progress and
learn more, and feel more comfortable and confident on
their own.
